Pain Management
Our interventional pain management services address chronic and acute pain through minimally invasive procedures. We specialize in diagnosing and treating spinal, neurological, and musculoskeletal conditions using fluoroscopic and ultrasound guidance. Patients benefit from personalized treatment plans tailored to their specific pain sources, including back pain, joint pain, and nerve-related issues.
Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine therapies like PRP and stem cell treatments promote natural healing for joint and musculoskeletal conditions. These advanced treatments target tissue repair and inflammation reduction, offering long-term relief for patients with chronic pain from injuries or degenerative diseases like arthritis.
Ultrasound-Guided Injections
Ultrasound-guided injections deliver targeted medication to precise anatomical locations for effective pain relief. This technology ensures accuracy in treating muscle, tendon, and joint pain, reducing recovery time and improving outcomes for patients with localized pain conditions.
Spinal Fracture Treatment
Spinal fracture treatment using kyphoplasty stabilizes vertebral compression fractures and alleviates severe back pain. This minimally invasive procedure restores spinal structure and function, allowing patients rapid recovery and improved mobility without surgical intervention.
PRP Therapy
PRP therapy utilizes concentrated platelets from the patient's blood to accelerate healing in injured tissues. It effectively treats tendonitis, ligament sprains, and joint pain, offering a non-surgical option for patients seeking relief from sports injuries or chronic musculoskeletal conditions.

Awful practice. The treatments caused worse pain and it's impossible to get any answers about what my options are. They don't pickup the phone or return any of my calls. Also not very clean. I didn't see anything in the building get wiped down whatsoever the entire time I was there. They had a lot of people in there too.

Dr. Wise, Dr. Zopler and team are simple incredible. They treated my mother in law yesterday morning for a compression fracture in her back giving her enormous relief. Last minute need and the team came in before hours to get this done. She is 82 years old with very few options. This team is well oiled, compassionate and performing cutting edge treatment. Many thanks the NEPM

Report
I was sent to this place for my spinal cord injury. First of all I had problem in parking my vehicle. Place was crowded and barely any place to park. Inside came the second surprise, in a tiny waiting area there is only one restroom. Patients literally were standing in a line to use this facility. My third surprise was when the nurse asked me why I came there. I was under the impression that my doctor has already sent them the info about me (actually he did, she later told me).
They insisted I should sign a waiver that I knew the possible side-effects, it is a normal procedure before surgeries, but for a cortisone shot all this was surprising. I do not have a medical insurance, I was paying for all this from my pocket and I was not willing to suffer further if something goes wrong (like paralysis & permanent nerves damage). I was told it was just a formality, they have done these procedures at least 50,000 times with no bad experiences. I had a bad feeling therefore I left without the shot, later I read these reviews. I am glad I declined their treatment. I have some discomfort, but thank goodness nothing else is happening to me.

I have nothing but positive things to say about this practice. Wait time is very reasonable. I see Dr. Littlejohn, and he is professional, personable, and I have complete faith in him. I have been through several pain clinics, and none compare to the staff, and their willingness to accommodate the patient, more than those at Northeast Pain Management.

Report
Appointment was made for a follow up appointment, 2 days letter a letter came with a different appointment date and time. When arriving at new appointment date and time receptionist said I called and canceled the appointment and requested the one we had scheduled in the office. I explained no such call was made and we came according to the newest appointment they sent us. I was rudely accused of lying, and was told they could fit us in but we would have to wait because they were double booked, and that they never have made a scheduling error before. The next appointment we will go to find out results of treatment, but looking for another pain clinic. Rudeness and being called a liar is not acceptable care and better options are available.
